    99The camra_server and data transfer (called pivot) should be running at all times on vdas, thus no action from the RA should be required.

    80 A prototype calibration script is available that can calibrate VIRUS.  This script attempts to expose all known supported FCU configurations as well as darks and biases.    The basic set of cals for VIRUS is: 
    81  * Sometime during the night take Cd-A, Hg, LDLS, darks, and biases:
    82 
    83 {{{ cal virus -l cd-a hg -c ldls_long -d 3 -de 360 -b 11 }}} - about ?? minutes (unknown)
    84 
    85 The above will expose the lamp1a lamp1b ldls (Cd-A Hg LDLS) as observation 1 (and subsequent numbers) and take three  360 second dark and 11 biases at the end. This is the standard calibration sequence for VIRUS (as of 27 Aug 2019).

    87 To get LRS2 and VIRUS biases in parallel use
     70The basic set of cals for VIRUS is: 
     71
     72* Sometime during the night take Cd-A, Hg, LDLS, darks, and biases:
     73{{{ cal virus -l ldls_long cd-a hg -B }}} - about  18 minutes
     74
     75* To get LRS2 and VIRUS biases in parallel use
    8876{{{ cal virus -pb -b 11 }}} - about 9 minutes
    8977
    90 To get LRS2 and VIRUS darks in parallel use
    91 
     78* To get LRS2 and VIRUS darks in parallel use
    9279{{{ cal virus -pd -de 360 -d 3 }}} - about 22 minutes
    93 
    94 Right after twilights, during the 1st stack I would take:
    95 
    96 {{{ cal virus -l cd-a hg -c ldls_long -d 3 -de 360 }}}  - about 46 minutes
    97 
    98 {{{ cal virus -l cd-a hg -c ldls_long }}}  - about 26 minutes
    99 
    100 **NB:  Try the following to speed things up: **
    101 
    102 {{{ cal_new virus -conf ~/sir/NEWCAL/vl_cals.json -l ldls_long cd-a hg -B }}}  - about  18 minutes
    10380
    10481
    10582NB
    10683- in case of any problem try to get hardware status of instruments.
    107   if got problem try to kill and start camra_server on lrs2
    108 - adjust number of line and continuum lamps (L and C) and obs number as required
